"Now I have been educated I feel I can climb up an invisible ladder"

I came here straight from Kenya. I studied English in Kenya as it's the second language there, but what I learnt before wasn’t enough so I came to the College to do English again. My first language is Somali.

Everyone I know in London was telling me this College is amazing for studying English and I thought there would be native English teachers here too; I wanted to learn from them.

On the ESOL course we do a lot of reading and writing and also a lot of teamwork. For example we recently worked on a project where we had to collect clothes which we will give to a local charity; we worked on this together as a class.

I love my teachers here, it’s very different to before as teachers in Africa are very strict. My teacher Nicci is an amazing person, she treats us like family.

When I came to the College I couldn’t understand much English at all and didn’t understand directions in class which was really difficult, now I understand even more than I speak. Life has changed a lot for me, as now I can go to interviews by myself and I can talk to people easily, I don’t need anyone to translate.

I love this College and I’m really happy that I chose it, the teachers and staff here are so friendly and I also really enjoy the teamwork in class. I hope to study science at the College after the summer, but I will decide on the course once I get my exam results.

Over the summer, UK Visas and Immigration released new rules and regulations that came into effect on the 6 July 2018. This will impact Short Term Study Visa holders and applicants.

The changes mean that when applying as a short-term student, you must intend to leave the UK within 30 days of the end of your study (if it is before the date your immigration permission ends). If you do not leave the UK within this time, it could affect any future immigration applications to the UK (such applications could be refused and a time-bar applied if the Home Office believes you exercised deception about your intention in your short-term student immigration application). If your study (as stated in the letter you presented to the Home Office as part of your short-term student immigration application) continues until the date that your immigration permission ends, you must leave the UK no later than the date your immigration permission ends.
